An ankle sprain is an injury that occurs when the ligaments around the ankle are overstretched or torn. This typically happens during sports or physical activities, but can also occur in everyday life, such as tripping over an uneven pavement. Sprained ankles can cause pain, swelling, and limit your range of motion.

Physiotherapy is an effective treatment for ankle sprains. It helps decrease pain, increase your range of motion, strengthen the muscles around your ankle, and improve your balance. Exercises prescribed by a physiotherapist are designed to restore function and prevent future injury. In addition, physiotherapy treatment often includes techniques to manage pain and swelling.

Recovery time varies depending on the severity and type of the ankle injury. Minor injuries may require a few weeks, while more severe cases could take several months. Our physiotherapists will assess your specific situation and provide a personalized recovery timeline, including ongoing assessments to track your progress.

During your first visit, a physiotherapist will conduct a thorough assessment of your injury, which includes understanding your medical history and examining your ankle's range of motion, strength, and functional abilities. Based on this assessment, we'll develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
